WRONGFUL DEATH VICTIMS IN CALIFORNIA NEGLIGENCE,
ERRORS AND OMISSIONS CASES
(WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIMS AND LAWSUITS)

We are all required to conduct ourselves in an appropriate manner and act within the customary standard of care of a reasonable person in our normal everyday lives. Professionals have heightened duties of care to act in the appropriate manner for their particular profession. (see, Professional Malpractice Liability & Pharmaceutical Malpractice areas of practice pages for more information). Common carriers normally have heightened duties of care when transporting passengers. (see, Taxi Cab Accident, Limousine Accident, Bus Accident & Train Accident areas of practice pages for more information). However, the failure to act within the applicable standard of care is about as normal and commonplace as getting out of bed in the morning or putting on a pair of pants one leg at a time. Simply stated, people are human beings and people will make mistakes. No one is perfect. Notwithstanding the same, if the mistakes, errors, omissions or negligence of one or more person causes personal injury, damage or wrongful death to another person, the people who conducted themselves in a negligent manner may be found legally liable and responsible for the personal injuries, damages and wrongful death which were proximately caused by their negligence.

Most people walk, drive, ride, travel, shop, visit, attend events, go to the doctor and do various other activities as part of their daily lives. In any event, if you or your family members live or work in a larger metropolitan area in California, such as Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Ventura County, Orange County, etc., the likelihood is that you or one of your loved ones will eventually be involved in an accident at some point in your lifetime.

Your father as a pedestrian may fall on a cracked walkway or may be hit or run over by a car, automobile, truck or motorcycle. Your mother as a pedestrian may even be hit or run over by a moving vehicle while crossing the street in a marked crosswalk. Your son or daughter as a motorist driving a car or truck may get into a collision with another motorist who is driving an automobile. Your husband, wife or spouse may be involved in a catastrophic accident with a truck or a big rig. A bus may hit a limousine or taxi cab while one of your relatives is a passenger in one of the vehicles. Your relative may be a passenger on a train that crashed into a motor vehicle. Your relative may slip and fall on a known broken tile at the local grocery store. A person may accidentally trip your relative and cause them to fall onto the floor in their home. An unleashed dog or other animal owned by your relative's neighbor may attack them and bite them on the face, arm or leg. An amusement park ride may malfunction or an amusement park operator may close the doors of the roller coaster onto your spouse's shoulder, arm, hand or head without warning or justification. A doctor may accidentally leave a surgical instrument in your relative's chest cavity.

The list goes on and on. The list of the ways in which one of your close family members can sustain damages, personal injuries and wrongful death as a result of the negligence of another is almost endless. Notwithstanding the same, at the time of any type of negligence based accident, you and/or one of your loved ones may sustain personal injury, wrongful death or destruction of personal property. The personal injuries and damages sustained in many types of accidents can be extremely severe and result in the wrongful death of your close relative.

The most important thing a person or family member who has been involved in any type of negligence based accident can do is to immediately get medical attention for any personal injuries that were sustained in the accident and then contact a California Attorney or Los Angeles Accident Lawyer for legal advice. An injured party or family member should not simply operate under the mistaken belief that the negligent party and/or their insurance company will do the "right thing."

The clear fact of the matter is that insurance companies and their representatives are not there to protect the rights and interests of personal injury accident victims or wrongful death victims. They are there to protect their own insured's rights and interests, as well as to protect their own bottom line.

We are there to protect the rights and interest of our clients. We can be there to protect your rights and interests as an personal injury accident victim if we agree to handle your case or matter. Under any circumstances, please follow these simple guidelines if you or a loved one is involved in an accident where another party is at fault:

1. Call the police and make sure that an ambulance is dispatched to the scene of the injury causing accident;
2. Get immediate medical attention for any injuries sustained in the accident (allow paramedics to transport injured parties to the hospital for care and treatment);
3. Do not admit anything to any party without contacting the Rosenstein Law Offices, Los Angeles Wrongful Death Accident Lawyer or California Wrongful Death Accident Attorney;
4. Exchange identifying information and insurance information with all parties involved in the death causing accident;
5. Do not speak directly with the liable party's insurance adjusters, attorneys or representatives about the facts of the case without first consulting with the Rosenstein Law Offices, Los Angeles Wrongful Death Accident Lawyer or California Wrongful Death Accident Attorney;
